SWAG has it. Carriers for SMT are a great idea, especially to mitigate sag, and allow some savings in setup. Fixturing setup advantage: You could fixture everything to a fixed width, and eliminate rail setups throughout your lines. Trade off the f

I didn't even think of running a blade down those scores. I will give it a shot and see. The laminate they're using is Nanya NP-140, if anyone has ever used it or has any info regarding it's issues around something like this. We can see resin weave

Background on the PCB: Thickness: .032" Material: Standard Fr4 V-score: Leaves .016" (approx .008" cuts on either side) We are having some issues on these boards where the edges are delaminating all the way to the copper during de-panel. Now, we are

I did not see any mention on the inner layer setback. We use 0.025" and have not had problems. Point loads with either a CAB or a FKN can sometimes be problematic. I would search out someone you know that has a fancort industries VDP5. This cuts th

Well, we cannot make the cuts any deeper as then we would incur a significant amount of "bowing" at SMT placement/reflow. -Has anyone ever heard of changes in material/laminate makeup that causes this? A sort-of stronger, or more flexible tensile st

Well, typically we put rails on a lot of the boards due to the absence of fids and/or tooling holes. We do have a fixture that is somewhat universal that I could try to introduce into the next run. Unfortunately, the next run does not help my proble

What we did was design or panels with routed out edges held on by tabs. This was very effective. All we use is a pair of pneumatic scissors to cut off the tabs. We are using from single-to 13 layer PCB's and we have had no problems with delamination

Well...I think we just about beat this one to death, but I'll go ahead and add a couple more points to "pro-score" camp...WITH the caveat that it HAS to be done right! Yes, I will say that I've had to deal with the wrong spec'd or crappy scor

| We're running into problems with board damage (broken traces, solder shorts) due to pliers and other bizarre tools being used for depanelization. I need some sort of fixture for this. A delrin plate with a slot cut to the correct depth and width mi
